RINSE THOROUGHLY and repeatedly, then get yourself to the ER. Have someone drive if you cannot.





Call 1-800-222-1222 for a national poison control hotline (they can give you the best advice).





Here's a link that may help.

dont panic. you did the right thing...rinse rinse rinse. preferably with sterile saline, but water is better than nothing.





you will most likely be fine. schedule an appointment or walk-in to an optometrist or ophthalmologists office. an E.R. visit is probably not warranted in this case IMO if it really was only ';1 drop'; followed by immediate rinse and not prolonged exposure
Continue to rinse your eye with cool water and blow some air on it gently. Give it a few minutes then if it's still irratated use some visine or contact solution. Your eye shouldbe fine but if conditons begin to worsen or not improve after about 30-45 minutes i'd call your doctor or the help line that should be listed on the back of the bottle.





Stay calm-you'll be fine! You did the right thing so don't worry. :)
rinse repeatedly for 30 mins then contact dr.
